The Strak and I watched The Smashing Pumpkins rock the House of Blues last night, and what a show it was! Extra-super loud, tons of fuzzed out guitar solos; He played plenty of classics, and hell, even the new stuff was pretty good. Also, his new bass player is (well, from what I could see.) The guitar player looked a tad out of place, but, whatever, he was good.

Annoying was the guy next to me who kept yelling "PLAY 'ROCKET'!!!! PLAY 'ROCKET'!!!", apparently not knowing how concerts work. I'm sure Billy was just going to stop and think "Hmm, he's right, let's skip the setlist and play 'Rocket' for this hipster over here." (Also, why does every annoying hipster have a beard, glasses, and a plaid shirt?)

There was also a huge muslce guy on the balcony with no shirt on. Ugh. And his girlfriend was real hot and of course loved him, even though he looked like an idiot. The best part was Billy called them out for being stupid.

Another thing I noticed was that Billy Corgan is gigantic. He must be 6'5" or something, and his hands are enormous. The guitar looked like a toothpick in his hands.


On the RTA rapid home, this really drunk 16 year old chick called me ugly and said I looked like Big Bird. So, ya know, I got that goin' for me, which is nice.


Me?



Every guy at the concert.

HA - no. She then proceeded to call me the N-word, then said she was getting her boys to f me up at the next stop. She and her friend also proceeded to ask the Asian lady across from me if she liked egg rolls. Ah, youth.

This is why I didn't go. They never play anything I can dance to.
